Review on πŸ’» KOMPUTERBAY 2GB (2x1GB) DDR SODIMM Laptop Memory - 333Mhz DDR333 PC2700 (200 pin) by Johnny Grant

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Old HP laptop upgraded from 512MB RAM to 2GB RAM

I actually had problems with this RAM when I first installed it. I took out both sticks and checked them one by one and they were both fine. When both installed together, RAM gave me over 100,000 errors in memtest86. So I decided to install and test a RAM stick in the top slot. Everything went well. Then I moved the first stick to the second slot and it worked for me too. I repeated this with the second rack of lamb. Memtest86 no longer showed any errors. So I installed another 2GB flash drive and checked again but still no errors. The operating system I installed on the laptop for testing (WindowsXP/Windows7/Windows8.1/Linux) crashed when the antivirus program used memory or Linux tried to install it on the hard drive. After running the memory test one by one, the issues are resolved now, it's stable and working very well. Thought to return these sticks as faulty. Now I don't have either. These memory cards are great. Check the RAM in all slots one by one if you have these problems too.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
